As the 2020 calendar year comes to an end, The Rotary Foundation has established the following deadlines for receipt of donations for tax credit in 2020.
- Cash donations mailed to The Rotary Foundation no later than December 31, 2020 and received no later than January 7, 2021. The checks will be processed through the bank upon receipt but it might take several days for it to show up in your account. You will need to also send the contribution form.
- Wire transfers must be initiated no later than Thursday, December 31 and received by January 4, 2021.
- If you give stocks or mutual funds, the transfer must occur no later than close of business on December 31.
If possible, please make your donation to The Rotary Foundation electronically. Those donations can be made until 11:59 p.m. on December 31. Go to www.rotary.org, then sign into your “my Rotary” account so that your funds will be credited to your account. Please remember that for PHF credit, they must be directed to either Annual Share or Polio and that if you need to establish a “my Rotary” account, it is a two day process (the first to establish the account and the second to make the donation).
Rotary employees are still working from home so the processing of checks or other contributions is slower than historically.
